I think the problem lies with the fact that all it would take to get the std A14 compliant again, is some fuel reforming... which would also make it so fuel economical that you would probably be able to skip a fuelprice hike or 2 on a tank of fuel....

and for the sake of our poor suffering starving OIL-Overlords, we can not possibly want to have that now, can we.

Last time I checked you could pick one of the showroom floor for 62,000ZAR, which is about 8,234.39AUD. Some dealers sell them for much cheaper than others, they seem to have a lot of stock that they are trying to clear before the new, hugely ####ty, bakkie comes in.

However, economic situation in our country I think might prompt them to sell them even cheaper. Secondhand the prices are also going to plumet, because a year or 2 ago, they cost around R70K, so some 2nd hand 2 year old ones are actually more expensive still than a brand new one...

2008 Bakkie? I thought they went out of production at the end of 2007?Man it would be so sweet to own a brand new one of these. Father time can be rather unkind to cars, so to have one that hadn't suffered his ravages would be terrific.
